This book, The Neocolonialism in Africa: The Unfinished Struggle by Matt Morissen (2026), explores the persistent influence of external powers on Africa's sovereignty and economy despite the end of formal colonial rule.

The text argues that the Scramble for Africa in the 19th century established extractive economic models and artificial borders that continue to destabilize the continent. While the mid-20th century brought a wave of independence, Morissen contends this was often a false dawn where political authority was transferred but substantive economic and cultural control remained in foreign hands. The book balances this critique with a narrative of hope, highlighting contemporary movements like Pan-Africanism and the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) as pathways toward reclaiming genuine sovereignty.

  • The Colonial Foundation: Chapters 1 and 2 detail how colonial powers dismantled indigenous systems to create a resource hinterland designed for wealth extraction.
  • The Neocolonial Web: The author examines how multinational corporations, international financial institutions (IMF/World Bank), and political puppetry maintain dependency through debt traps and lopsided trade policies.
  • Martyrs and Movements: The book highlights leaders like Patrice Lumumba and Thomas Sankara, whose visions for self-reliance were met with violent external intervention.
  • Future Prospects: Later chapters focus on reclaiming sovereignty through technology, gender equality, and regional integration to break the shadow of colonialism.
